Speaker 1: Dude, I don't know what I ate this morning, Ross,
Speaker 1: but about ten minutes, about ten minutes ago, it has
Speaker 1: absolutely declared war on Monday. So we're going to try
Speaker 1: to get through all of this. But at any point
Speaker 1: you may see me just sprint out of the studio. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, very good. I know you probably all didn't
Speaker 1: want to know that, but just one of those mornings.
Speaker 1: All right. So, how was everyone's weekend? I know some
Speaker 1: of you got tasked with a little bit of homework there.
Speaker 1: If you work for the federal government, a little busy work,
Speaker 1: little something, You're not sure what you know? Is it
Speaker 1: about what you're right there? Is it more just the exercise?
Speaker 1: Is it just somebody in some sort of management position,
Speaker 1: clearly obviously just checking boxes? Did it require a debate,
Speaker 1: a grandiose debate over the weekend of people going this
Speaker 1: just ain't right, this is horrible? How dare you? Or
Speaker 1: is it literally everything that I deal with and Ross
Speaker 1: deals with and many of you deal with every day
Speaker 1: working in the private sector. Ross, do you remember can
Speaker 1: you think of any busy work we had here in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks here at iHeartRadio. This is
Speaker 1: not a criticism by the way of our wonderful employer.
Speaker 1: But can you think of anything that you did you
Speaker 1: don't have to be specific, that maybe felt a little
Speaker 1: like busy work, maybe not the main cruchi.
Speaker 2: I always say pretty much everything I do is incredibly
Speaker 2: important and understanding.
Speaker 1: I don't know about busy work, right, I understand that,
Speaker 1: but sure, yes, I don't know. Maybe like forty five
Speaker 1: minute annual tutorials on how to run something that you
Speaker 1: and I've run for twenty years, right, maybe that well,
Speaker 1: eas compliance training.
Speaker 2: It's the thing that goes around a lot of businesses,
Speaker 2: like at the beginning of the year, right, they're like,
Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna do all these new things, and
Speaker 2: we're going to do these things and check these boxes.
Speaker 2: And then typically the way it works is, you know,
Speaker 2: by June those things aren't being done anymore and things
Speaker 2: are like back to quote normal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and it's just and but you don't quit
Speaker 1: your job over it. Ran What do you do? You
Speaker 1: go in the break room where you're watching somebody milk
Speaker 1: make milky coffee out of the cyrig ew what's up
Speaker 1: with that? This is why I don't drink coffee. Right here,
Speaker 1: Poor Ross got in the currig last week and apparently
Speaker 1: nobody had made it. Dude. Yeah no.
Speaker 2: So I got here like you know, I that was
Speaker 2: the day Wednesday of the first storm or the first snow.
Speaker 2: So I got up at like two point thirty, left
Speaker 2: at three so I could get here in time for
Speaker 2: the show and get everything load and everything ready, and
Speaker 2: so I couldn't stop for my normal breakfast and my
Speaker 2: caffeine and stuff. So I'm like, yeah, that's fine. He
Speaker 2: used to carry get work. It'll be great, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Let be use it in a while
Speaker 2: and to be fine. So you know, they're doing a
Speaker 2: little construction here, like the walls are gone. It's nuts.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, well, the sink is still there though,
Speaker 2: and the kitchen is still there, so gonna make me
Speaker 2: some coffee and you know, starting to go fill up
Speaker 2: the curreg machine. And the water that comes out of
Speaker 2: all the plumbing is like paint. It's like white, white,
Speaker 2: misty paint.
Speaker 1: I just had a selectrolyte. It's what plants crave man.
Speaker 1: So Marky was like getting free brondo.
Speaker 2: Marky was like, just clean out the carrig machine like
Speaker 2: with what I'm like, the waters white paint.
Speaker 1: It's got a filter on it, though, got a filter.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure it's fine. It's fine. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just like you go into the break room when
Speaker 1: you're making your coffee there and you go to your
Speaker 1: coworker're like, oh man, did you did you do the
Speaker 1: compliance training? But huh, yeah, it's so dumb whatever, and
Speaker 1: then you guys do it, and then and then you
Speaker 1: go do you go to your damn job? This is
Speaker 1: not that difficult. I got to make a web video
Speaker 1: I've been putting off for a week. I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to finally do that today. I don't want to
Speaker 1: do it, but it's also it's not an impossible task.
Speaker 1: So I think I did what a lot of people
Speaker 1: did this weekend. When I saw that Elon Musk was
Speaker 1: sending this email out where I actually sat down and
Speaker 1: I wrote a list of like I like wonder what
Speaker 1: I would come up with, like what did I actually
Speaker 1: do last week? And it took me maybe five ten minutes,
Speaker 1: but the list was substantial, and I was like, it
Speaker 1: actually made me feel good when I was done with them,
Speaker 1: Like I accomplished a lot last week. Guys should have
Speaker 1: more money. Oh, okay, well you could eat. Let me
Speaker 1: know how that angle goes like.
Speaker 2: It's not a hard thing to do. I think a
Speaker 2: lot of times though it might be daunting or stress
Speaker 2: for or concerning if you're not actually doing anything and
Speaker 2: then you have to write down what you did, or
Speaker 2: maybe it's just a pain in the ass and you
Speaker 2: just don't want to do it because you're busy doing
Speaker 2: other things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be fair, this is what Ross wrote. If
Speaker 1: you guys just don't know this, he said, quote set
Speaker 1: out on a journey after being abandoned at the Grand
Speaker 1: Canyon when I was just eight, to find my birth parents.
Speaker 1: That's the Joe Dirt theme. That's what happens in Joe Dirt,
Speaker 1: isn't it.
Speaker 2: It was lonely in the trash can man? Okay, it scary.
Speaker 1: The premise of Joe Dirt is a thing you did
Speaker 1: last week?
Speaker 2: Man, I I did a lot. I'm being completely serious.
Speaker 2: When you actually write down the list, you're like, damn,
Speaker 2: that's awesome. I go meet pat myself on the back.
Speaker 1: And even if you want to write a list, that's boring. Right,
Speaker 1: what did you do last week? I only did my
Speaker 1: compliance training. We only did four shows because it was
Speaker 1: a four day week, but I cut some specs for
Speaker 1: sales for some new clients. Like that's all. It's simply
Speaker 1: the act of writing and them registering that you're you're
Speaker 1: actually checking your email, is I think pretty much what
Speaker 1: they're looking for, right, They're not sitting there going, oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's a very eloquent description here that you've provided
Speaker 1: of this very inane thing that you do. That's not
Speaker 1: like they don't care.
Speaker 2: Now, this is something he actually did when you first
Speaker 2: bought Twitter as well.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes it was. Yeah, but everyone through the paces
Speaker 1: went over there and they and they made and they
Speaker 1: made it sound like it was a horror story at
Speaker 1: the time too. Can you believe he's making people come
Speaker 1: in and explain what they do?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure there was like really bad because we've
Speaker 2: seen these videos on Twitter or Instagram whatever it is, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my day in life at Twitter, and it's just like
Speaker 2: you're watching these people and you're like, you're not actually
Speaker 2: doing any work.
Speaker 1: No, but they have amazing breakrooms.
Speaker 2: Right in the breakfast bar and the omelets, and their
Speaker 2: water isn't a white misty paint.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, they don't. They don't struggle with that
Speaker 1: so so yeah, really this whole and the problem is
Speaker 1: every time you guys turn this into When I say
Speaker 1: you guys, I mostly mean the media, but but you know,
Speaker 1: there were plenty of government workers willing to sit down
Speaker 1: and be interviewed. When you sit there and you do
Speaker 1: an interview bemoaning your station in life about having to
Speaker 1: write this email which took takes two minutes, okay in
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, and you you go and
Speaker 1: you seek out sympathy from people, even people who politically
Speaker 1: are one hundred percent where you're at, who actually work
Speaker 1: in normal life, in real life. They look at you
Speaker 1: and they go, what are you whining about?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: I mean, what possibly are you on about? What's the
Speaker 1: worst thing you have to do at your job? Right?
Speaker 1: And you just envisioned it, whatever it may be. What's
Speaker 1: the worst thing you have to do. You don't have
Speaker 1: to say it out loud, and I want you to
Speaker 1: insult somebody work with, but you have a thing right,
Speaker 1: But you do it right because it becomes the dividing line.
Speaker 1: Maybe one day you don't do it, Maybe you go,
Speaker 1: you know what, I've had enough of this job and
Speaker 1: this thing I have to do and I'm going to
Speaker 1: go do something else, and that's fine, and you do that.
Speaker 1: But unless you're like a sex slave or right, or
Speaker 1: you murder kittens for science or something, right, like, nobody
Speaker 1: wants to hear you complain about it. Nobody knows, especially
Speaker 1: when it's something that stupid. Nobody wants to just take
Speaker 1: time and draw over my weekend. I had to write
Speaker 1: this email. Took me like five minutes. I'd remember stuff all. No, dude,
Speaker 1: there's people with scrub toilets every day, some of you,
Speaker 1: some of you are listening. Scrub toilets every day is
Speaker 1: part of your your job, and you do it. This
Speaker 1: is part of the gig. That's because that's your job.
Speaker 1: That's what you signed up for. And so you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get sympathy from people. Now if during the course
Speaker 1: of the time when you're struggling that when you're when
Speaker 1: you're cleaning the toilets, your manager shoots you with a
Speaker 1: pellet gun. Right, Okay, When I'm listening, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe maybe you shouldn't work for that
Speaker 1: guy a monster, But it's not. It's just the thing
Speaker 1: you have to do that I admittedly I don't want
Speaker 1: to answer email from salespeople over the weekend, answer email
Speaker 1: from anybody.
Speaker 2: Dude, I'm not gonna lie though what you just said.
Speaker 2: Like if I'm walking down the hallway and Trevor walks
Speaker 2: out with like a blow dart gun, I'm like, I
Speaker 2: have more respect for the man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's getting some Look at these numbers. Look
Speaker 1: at the numbers improving. It's amazing. But but you whining
Speaker 1: at you. Oh, I'm gonna do an email. I got to.
Speaker 1: I gotta remember. I don't have to look up anything, right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to I have to get out the periodicals.
Speaker 1: I don't have to do any research. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: do what I do on Wednesday. No, no, not when
Speaker 1: I got drunk, but the happy hour with the guys. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: before that, Oh, I did a TPS report. Write TPS report,
Speaker 1: shut up or make something up to see if they're
Speaker 1: paying attention. Broker world Peace. Write there, just to see
Speaker 1: if they're reading. To just be I just want to
Speaker 1: see for paying attention when they come in to shoot
Speaker 1: you with the blow dark gun. It's what a dumb,
Speaker 1: horrible and it's Monday. It's one of those days where
Speaker 1: we do a lot of stuff we don't want to do,
Speaker 1: like I don't know, show up to work. Everything is dumb.
Speaker 1: And then you going on doing an interview trying to
Speaker 1: get sympathy from people who are gonna go in and
Speaker 1: scrub a toilet, you're gonna shot with a blow dark
Speaker 1: gun or whatever, you know, whatever Monday hell is in
Speaker 1: store for them. They're all laughing at you and and
Speaker 1: even making people who think that they don't like Trump's
Speaker 1: style go, you know what, maybe he's onto something something
Speaker 1: to think about five seventeen or excuse me, six seventeen.
Speaker 1: Hang on, dude, this is I'm telling you what, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I eat something or what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you hear me, speculate that about that, or you can
Speaker 1: listen to Chris Christie, who obviously did eat something. All
Speaker 1: the somethings. This is what I'm talking about. Just you know,
Speaker 1: they wheel Chris Christie out there to then talk about this,
Speaker 1: this breaking news, this horrible email that Elon sent and
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Nobody sympathetic because everyone's sitting there going, you know,
Speaker 1: I got to go back to work Monday, and I
Speaker 1: got that thing I got to do, and oh I
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, and you know, Chris Christie
Speaker 1: has to come out. He has to be the one
Speaker 1: who's I want to.
Speaker 4: Start with what Elon Musk did on Saturday, which is
Speaker 4: order all federal employees to list their accomplishments or basically
Speaker 4: be fired.
Speaker 5: Can you do that? Well, no, he can't. Let's look
Speaker 5: at it a few ways, Martha. First, from a legal perspective,
Speaker 5: you have a situation where it is a complete overstep
Speaker 5: for him to be asking people what did you do
Speaker 5: in the last week and then use that as a
Speaker 5: basis to evaluate whether someone should be retained or fired.
Speaker 5: You know, as with everybody's employment, things vary from week
Speaker 5: to week. And I think that if that went to
Speaker 5: court with an employee who was fired, if mister Musk
Speaker 5: and his minions didn't find what they did in the
Speaker 5: last week acceptable, there would be very little, if any,
Speaker 5: legal basis for them to be able to prevail.
Speaker 1: Meaning the government. He's just literally he's just making it up. Well, well,
Speaker 1: you're telling me that a government employee can't be asked
Speaker 1: to do a simple task, which is what they're being
Speaker 1: asked to do. It's not really about the content. And
Speaker 1: if they then don't do the task can be disciplined.
Speaker 1: And you're telling me that that's not that, well, then
Speaker 1: that's a problem. That's a problem if that's literally not
Speaker 1: a thing, because that's the real world, that's what people
Speaker 1: deal with. What are you talking about, sir.
Speaker 4: Christ The Trump administration has had some wins and these
Speaker 4: legal battles. In fact, a federal judge agreed that they
Speaker 4: can now put thousand of USAID employees on leave. So
Speaker 4: any surprise there and take a look at all the
Speaker 4: wins they.
Speaker 5: Have had, no, Martha, Look, I think that if you
Speaker 5: follow an organized process, the executive will have a lot
Speaker 5: of authority to be able to lay people off reorder
Speaker 5: priorities within the government as a whole and within particular
Speaker 5: departments as well a USAID as an agency but working
Speaker 5: very closely with the State Department. So it's not that
Speaker 5: they can't do it, it's just you can't do it
Speaker 5: in this haphazard way where you have one guy Elon
Speaker 5: Musk and his doge area, which isn't really even a
Speaker 5: department of the government, sending emails out. And then you
Speaker 5: have the people the president has appointed, and in some instances,
Speaker 5: like in kash Ptel's instance, are state confirmed people saying
Speaker 5: no disregard that. That's where the person at the top
Speaker 5: has to give appropriate direction, and that has not come
Speaker 5: from the President of the United States this point. He's giving
Speaker 5: different opinions to different folks, giving different direction. It leads
Speaker 5: to this type of thing, and that's where they're going
Speaker 5: to get in trouble in court if people sue, because
Speaker 5: there's no process for these folks to be dealt with
Speaker 5: fairly and appropriately like any employee in the public sector
Speaker 5: or the private sector.
Speaker 2: It's ross. Casey came in today like sweat and not
Speaker 2: looking well. He did make it in and his first
Speaker 2: thing was like, dude, I ate something yesterday and it
Speaker 2: just did not feeling well. So during the break he
Speaker 2: actually ran to the bathroom, Like the dude bolted down
Speaker 2: to the bathroom in a complete panic, like just sweating profusely.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to stall for time until he comes back,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna play the Doge protest songs so we
Speaker 2: can feel we can empathize how Casey is feeling right now,
Speaker 2: or at least his butt.
Speaker 6: Oh which shot are you on? Which side?
Speaker 5: Are you on?
Speaker 7: Side?
Speaker 1: Are you on?
Speaker 6: Which side are you on? We'll fight against change.
Speaker 1: We'll fight me on mess.
Speaker 6: No way lanscap within our walls. We'll fight from down
Speaker 6: to dusk. Which side are you on? Which side are
Speaker 6: you on?
Speaker 8: Me?
Speaker 6: Which side are you on? Which side are you on?
Speaker 6: Trump's coming for our unions.
Speaker 9: He didn't wants us out to face, He didn't want us.
Speaker 6: To bow to him, But we want him in jail. Oh,
Speaker 6: which side are you on? Which side are you on?
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 6: Which side are you on? Which side are you on?
Speaker 6: They say in the Capitol City.
Speaker 2: No neutrals, fat, you're reader.
Speaker 6: With the Union, are a scavvy musk plood hound?
Speaker 1: Which shot are you on? Which shide are you on?
Speaker 5: Me?
Speaker 6: Which side are you on? The shid are you on?
Speaker 4: You take that government by off.
Speaker 9: Don't listen to Trump slides us workers havn't got a
Speaker 9: chance unless three organized.
Speaker 2: No, which I mean I'm feeling the pain? Which side
Speaker 2: that's painful? And Casey is still not.
Speaker 6: Being which side are you?
Speaker 2: So that's like, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: play an old cup from Casey talking to Pete Calendar
Speaker 2: this past Friday. I'm gonna run down the bathroom, make
Speaker 2: sure he's alive, and hopefully we'll be back. It is
Speaker 2: the case of the radio program.
Speaker 1: All right, dude and everybody, and welcome. It is Tito
Speaker 1: six here on the CaCO Day radio program. And it
Speaker 1: is Friday after a beautiful three day week that then
Speaker 1: turned into snow mcgeddon. I don't know how bad it
Speaker 1: is in Charlotte, but our radio buddy to the South
Speaker 1: peak calendar mid days WBT. All right, are you in
Speaker 1: an igloo? What'd you guys get down there?
Speaker 10: We got the normal stuff, you know, some peace and
Speaker 10: then satan slushy of like the wintry mix, and then it.
Speaker 1: Was all got full drove and stuff right, and then.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah it's and you know there are there are
Speaker 10: a couple of things like number one, we should not
Speaker 10: we should like the South gets ripped on by people
Speaker 10: who are from you know, up north, and they're like, oh,
Speaker 10: you guys don't know how to handle this, you know it,
Speaker 10: And uh look, I would oppose any kind of ramping
Speaker 10: up of the purchasing of snow plows and you know,
Speaker 10: the kind of response equipment that the Northeast gets because
Speaker 10: we don't get this very often. Number one. Number two,
Speaker 10: this is not like what you get up in the Northeast. Okay,
Speaker 10: up there it's snow, and here it's this satan slushie
Speaker 10: of ice and snow and rain and it all gets
Speaker 10: mixed in together and then it all freezes. And no,
Speaker 10: just because you can drive well in the snow doesn't
Speaker 10: mean you can drive well on ice, because nobody can
Speaker 10: drive well on ice except Zamboni's that's it. So no,
Speaker 10: you're not. You're not superior.
Speaker 1: Good like I'm good. Yeah, I'm pretty good.
Speaker 10: Though, you're pretty good on ice. But he got skates
Speaker 10: or put skates or something on the.
Speaker 1: I used to have studded tires that I put on
Speaker 1: in the winter, right, Like that was real deal stuff.
Speaker 1: And I agree with you, we don't need to go
Speaker 1: knocking this stuff out. But I saw a I saw
Speaker 1: like a map of all of the different accidents yesterday
Speaker 1: around the Triangle, and I had like a little orange
Speaker 1: brown cone for it, and I thought I was looking
Speaker 1: at the San Francisco poop map. You see the San
Speaker 1: Francisco poop map, right, somebody mapped all the poops and
Speaker 1: that's that was essentially the roads around the Triangle yesterday.
Speaker 1: Because people are dumb.
Speaker 10: Well, yes, I mean, okay, of course people are dumb.
Speaker 10: But also this idea like only Southerners are getting in
Speaker 10: accidents in these ice storms is absurd. How many of
Speaker 10: these people are coming, for example, you know from up
Speaker 10: north or out west. They don't have experience driving in
Speaker 10: these icy conditions. And so like we just like what
Speaker 10: I learned, and I'm originally from New York, so I
Speaker 10: can trash all of the people who come down here,
Speaker 10: like I drove so much better up there. I first
Speaker 10: learned to drive. My first driving experience after I got
Speaker 10: my learner's permit was in an icy parking lot. You
Speaker 10: and I can tell you, like, unless you've got the
Speaker 10: studded tires, there's nothing really you can do when your
Speaker 10: car hits ice except to, you know, wait for the
Speaker 10: skid to end, basically. And a lot of people come
Speaker 10: down here and they drive like it's snow and then
Speaker 10: they get into accidents too. So there's a reason why
Speaker 10: when the ice starts coming down, people are like, you
Speaker 10: know what, let's just take the day off and that's okay,
Speaker 10: Like that's all right to take the day off and say, hey,
Speaker 10: you know what, mother nature wants us to work from
Speaker 10: home today.
Speaker 1: And you know what, it also would probably eliminate the
Speaker 1: possibility of Gozer teaming up with the key Master and
Speaker 1: unleashing all the healthscape in the sewers of New York
Speaker 1: or the key Master, which was until recently apparently a
Speaker 1: dude who worked at Yosemite. How many people are locking that?
Speaker 1: We were just talking about this, so the audience is
Speaker 1: up on this. How many I grew up next to
Speaker 1: a national park. You might have heard of You ever
Speaker 1: heard of Yellowstone? Pete?
Speaker 3: You hear?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 10: From the TV show?
Speaker 1: No, I see what you did there? A lot of
Speaker 1: people do that. No, it's it's from the It's from
Speaker 1: the the Kennedy the rough Rider dude. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: and I had relatives Clinton. My uncle was the chief
Speaker 1: law enforcement officer for Yellowstone National Park for quite a
Speaker 1: few years, and I had the privilege of actually staying
Speaker 1: in those back country cabins with him on a couple
Speaker 1: a couple of trips there. I did see where a
Speaker 1: dude got eaten by a bear once, and I saw happen.
Speaker 1: I never saw a tourist locked in a bathroom. Is
Speaker 1: that the win? The Washington Post thought it was trying
Speaker 1: to go and individualize, and I have no By the way,
Speaker 1: I have nothing against Vince. Of course his name's Vince.
Speaker 1: By the way, I have nothing against this guy. And
Speaker 1: it is true. There's there's a lot of stuff you
Speaker 1: got to lock and unlock. We have it with the app,
Speaker 1: you know, with the people who walk the trail, they
Speaker 1: use those out shelters. You have to have people a minute.
Speaker 1: But it's the fallacy that in business you would never
Speaker 1: allow where if one guy, even if it's kind of
Speaker 1: a menial thing, can shut down your entire operation, you
Speaker 1: would never have that because what if he gets hit
Speaker 1: by a bus is essentially the quagmire there.
Speaker 10: Right, It's like building a death star and having one
Speaker 10: single vent, you know, weak spot. You know that you
Speaker 10: could just shoot the.
Speaker 1: Size of a womp rat. It's just the size of
Speaker 1: a womp rat. I don't understand what the problem is.
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?
Speaker 10: This is insanity, This is no What this is called
Speaker 10: is malicious compliance, correct, malicious compliance. It's the same thing
Speaker 10: they did. And for these those who were not paying
Speaker 10: any attention to politics or something back in the day
Speaker 10: when there was the government shut down under the Obama administration. Uh,
Speaker 10: and we were yeah, and we were treated to the
Speaker 10: spectacle of them like roping off Old Faithful, you know,
Speaker 10: don't look at the guysner, you're not allowed to look.
Speaker 10: Or Mount Rushmore. They closed the side of a road
Speaker 10: where people would pull off and take pictures of Mount
Speaker 10: Rushmore and they put it, yeah, like, you're not allowed
Speaker 10: to look at this. And then of course they shut
Speaker 10: down the World War Two Veterans Memorial.
Speaker 5: And then the and then you know, the flights were
Speaker 5: running up there.
Speaker 10: So literally, it's right, it's some statues on a sidewalk basically,
Speaker 10: and you're you're you're roping it. It took more money
Speaker 10: and personnel to put up all the barriers, which of
Speaker 10: course were completely deconstructed in rapid fashioned by the World
Speaker 10: War Two veterans who stormed beaches at Normandy. Do you
Speaker 10: think your gates are going to stop them from getting
Speaker 10: into their ori?
Speaker 1: And of course you have a thing for that, don't
Speaker 1: they the enemy line? Yeah?
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's the way for example, like, am I to
Speaker 10: believe that nobody else at Yosemite has any keys? It's
Speaker 10: just this one guy. And if you know it's the
Speaker 10: one guy, why do you fire him?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 10: Yosemite's got four hundred and fifty something employees. Why would
Speaker 10: you fire that one guy? Or at the Grand Canyon
Speaker 10: where they're like, we didn't have enough personnel to let
Speaker 10: people in through the south Gate, which is like the
Speaker 10: most popular, like ninety percent of the traffic comes in there.
Speaker 10: So they said, hey, you know what, let's really stick
Speaker 10: it to the people and to Trump and we're going
Speaker 10: to fire everybody that was working the south Gate or
Speaker 10: we'll move resources away from there to make them feel
Speaker 10: the pain. And this is malicious compliance. It's the same
Speaker 10: thing that they did with like or we're going to
Speaker 10: take off all of the books from the shelves that
Speaker 10: have anything to do.
Speaker 1: With you know, the Tuskegee Airman like now, and then
Speaker 1: they show the empty shelves photos exactly. I saw that
Speaker 1: on Twitter. And then we I was just talking about
Speaker 1: this with schools man because you know, White County's like, hey, anyway,
Speaker 1: I guess we touched on this, so like, hey, you
Speaker 1: know what we need. We need some money for like
Speaker 1: AC units and air filtration. People like, wait a sec
Speaker 1: hold up, hold up just a minute. Didn't we do
Speaker 1: this And they're like, ah, if you know, And then
Speaker 1: I have covered school districts up to it and having to
Speaker 1: go and I'm sure you've done it in your news capacity.
Speaker 1: I just have to go to the school board meetings
Speaker 1: and sit there and just stick a chopstick in both
Speaker 1: ears and eyes, man. And it's because it's so inane,
Speaker 1: it's so repetitive. But I'll tell you the thing that
Speaker 1: I saw every year is when they thought the voters
Speaker 1: weren't gonna support a bond or they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: raise it, they would come up with a contingency plan.
Speaker 1: All right, so if the voters don't vote for this,
Speaker 1: what are we going to do for the cuts? And
Speaker 1: then they would be like, all right, what's the most
Speaker 1: painful visible thing we can threaten. They'd be like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna kids aren't gonna have to have We're
Speaker 1: gonna chop all their heads off if you do it right.
Speaker 1: And then that's what they would put out there, and
Speaker 1: I would be seizing at the little media section there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, Buses, extracurricular activities, sports, right, those are the things
Speaker 10: they cut first, and they threaten parents with in order
Speaker 10: to shake them down to extort the additional revenue out
Speaker 10: of them, rather than cutting anything else, Like, well, we've
Speaker 10: cut to the bone everywhere else we possibly can cut.
Speaker 10: So if you don't approve this, we're going to have
Speaker 10: to cut your buses. Up in New York, all of
Speaker 10: the the budgets would go to voters every year. The
Speaker 10: voters would vote on the local school budgets. And this
Speaker 10: was the I learned this lesson when I was in
Speaker 10: high school. I was covering school board meetings in high
Speaker 10: school and go into those meetings then, and this was
Speaker 10: the game they play. I know it, and I spent
Speaker 10: another decade doing it in Charlotte Meck. And this is
Speaker 10: the game, and it is malicious compliance. They make the
Speaker 10: taxpayers feel the pain so they can get more money
Speaker 10: to do other stuff that they want to do. They
Speaker 10: never go back to a zero based budget. They never
Speaker 10: zero things out and look to see are we spending
Speaker 10: this in the appropriate way. Never, it's always just continuation
Speaker 10: budgets after continuation budgets.
Speaker 1: The do we We're gonna probably stick on this topic
Speaker 1: because there's like three different scenarios, this transitionary thing, and
Speaker 1: this is I'm going to play the Commerce Secretary's audio.
Speaker 1: This is the thing. I thought, you wouldn't it be
Speaker 1: crazy if Trump tried to do this? But he wouldn't
Speaker 1: do this, and that was where we we go back
Speaker 1: to where the way that it used to be, where
Speaker 1: the federal government was largely funded, not completely, but largely
Speaker 1: funded by tariffs and various other Basically, if people wanted
Speaker 1: to do business with us, because it's pretty good to
Speaker 1: do business in the US, revenue would be derived and
Speaker 1: that would fund things. Then we went to this federal
Speaker 1: income text and the craziest thing to do would be like, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe we should go back to the other thing. Surely
Speaker 1: they wouldn't do that.
Speaker 8: And then Lutnick said that our objective under Donald Trump
Speaker 8: is to balance this budget. And I'm telling you, you
Speaker 8: watch it, We're going to do it.
Speaker 1: If you get savings from these doze cuts, are you
Speaker 1: going to give any of this back to the American people?
Speaker 3: We keep hearing about these doze dividends.
Speaker 5: Well, think about it.
Speaker 8: Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service, and his goal
Speaker 8: is very simple, to abolish His goal is to abolish
Speaker 8: the internal revenue service and let all the outsiders pay.
Speaker 1: All right, So he's talking about that, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 1: He's saying, we'll go back to the way that he
Speaker 1: used to be. Holy crap. Is that doable? What a
Speaker 1: position the Dems would be in, because then they have
Speaker 1: to explain to people who suddenly have twenty percent or
Speaker 1: it is the mean effective rately eighteen percent, that people
Speaker 1: actually have twenty percent more money and you have to
Speaker 1: go explain to them why you don't think they should
Speaker 1: have that. But also, I don't know how that tracks
Speaker 1: in an economy that could be acted like by COVID.
Speaker 1: COVID would devastate a tiff only economy. So I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've given this some thought. What do you think?
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, now, look the biggest problem here I actually
Speaker 10: have not, but I know this is an idea that
Speaker 10: gets kicked around, uh inside mainly conservative circles.
Speaker 12: The left, the liberty Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10: And so. And it's because yes, this was at the
Speaker 10: founding of the nation. This was how they did. Now,
Speaker 10: they did do protection as tariffs on what they called
Speaker 10: infant industries to protect them as they were starting up.
Speaker 10: But but the idea was, yeah, you fund the government,
Speaker 10: which was obviously much much smaller at the time with
Speaker 10: these with this, with the tariff model. Now the challenge
Speaker 10: is going to be big accounting because there is a
Speaker 10: massive uh industry. I think turbo tax. What's the green guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 10: They spend yeah yeah, tons of money lobbying for the
Speaker 10: preservation of the system. They do not want a simplified
Speaker 10: tax code. A simplified tax code means fewer people need
Speaker 10: their services, fewer people need accountants to do their taxes.
Speaker 10: So there's a there's a massive lobbying effort against anything
Speaker 10: that would eliminate the income tax on just like those grounds.
Speaker 10: Then you layer in the fact that the left, you know,
Speaker 10: sees a penny, wants to spend a penny, and so
Speaker 10: they they kind of count all of the income generated
Speaker 10: in the private sector as you know, available for the taking.
Speaker 10: It's just a matter of how you want to do it.
Speaker 10: So they're going to be against it. But to your question,
Speaker 10: I don't know how you make an argument except for,
Speaker 10: oh my gosh, we're going to have no money, the
Speaker 10: sky is going to fall, catastrophe, which is what we
Speaker 10: saw in North Carolina. You'll recall when you know, organizations
Speaker 10: like the Budget and Tax Center or whatever they call themselves,
Speaker 10: they you know, had all of these dire predictions when
Speaker 10: the Republicans took over, and guys like Bob Rouchow State Senator,
Speaker 10: were like, I want to get the income tax to zero,
Speaker 10: and they're like, you're going to bankrupt the state. And
Speaker 10: what have we seen under Republican tax reform? We've seen surpluses, right, nobody,
Speaker 10: right that nobody that nobody thought we could achieve and
Speaker 10: we could not with the tax structure being what it was.
Speaker 10: But when you allow people to keep their own money,
Speaker 10: they engage in more economic activity that generates more sales
Speaker 10: tax revenue, uh, and that goes to the state offers.
Speaker 10: So yeah, I mean it does make sense that you
Speaker 10: know that growth solves a lot of these types of
Speaker 10: financial problems for states, and it's it.
Speaker 1: Is remarkably more Unuh how do I say it? Unundoable?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying? Like the Democrats can
Speaker 1: just because they can't come in if they seize the
Speaker 1: White House next and go everything Trump did is done.
Speaker 1: If you've visited this transition, welcome in our official NERD
Speaker 1: correspondent du jour Stephen Kent, who, much like Mark Hamill,
Speaker 1: is doing this thing pantsless. How you doing, Steven? What's
Speaker 1: up this morning?
Speaker 3: My pants are barely on casey, You're doing good?
Speaker 1: How does that work, right, he's now a Hammill's like, oh,
Speaker 1: they gave me some pants but they didn't fit. What Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: accently got on stage. Bro And here's the thing. I
Speaker 1: almost understand that, right, because you know, essentially these are
Speaker 1: outfits where they're dressed by different styles. But like, I
Speaker 1: lost like forty pounds this year, I have pants that
Speaker 1: if I were to try to wear them anymore and
Speaker 1: I didn't have like all the belts, would be a
Speaker 1: tragic wardrobe malfunction. But I like, inherently you know that
Speaker 1: that dude's looking Yeah, he's looking rough.
Speaker 10: Yeah, he is looking rough.
Speaker 3: He's having a hard time. He's very stressed out with
Speaker 3: his Trump derangement syndrome, and it's been a tough couple
Speaker 3: months for him.
Speaker 7: But I gotta say, man, I watched this video of
Speaker 7: his pants falling down at the Baptis, and all of
Speaker 7: my sort of political gripes about Mark Hamill went right
Speaker 7: out the window.
Speaker 12: I mean, that's that's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: That just makes you turn tunity. Yeah, that makes you
Speaker 1: turn real red if you're Mark Hamill. And I think
Speaker 1: it was like Adrian Brody sitting there in that Timothy
Speaker 1: Chalomey and whatnot? Who are like, Oh, my gosh, is
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill's business If you're Mark Hamill and you don't
Speaker 1: put your hand out and go, that is not my genitals.
Speaker 1: You're looking at right like you know, what have you doing?
Speaker 1: Not doing that?
Speaker 10: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Clicking on this video, I didn't know what to expect.
Speaker 3: I sort of thought that he would play it off
Speaker 3: because he's a funny guy.
Speaker 12: He can he can do he can do comedy on
Speaker 12: the go.
Speaker 3: But man, his voice is shaking and he's scrambling for
Speaker 3: his pants and he's he's trying to stay serious as possible.
Speaker 12: Oh, it's hard to watch this is This is definitely
Speaker 12: one of those videos that will make you blush.
Speaker 13: Love cinema so much that we're all gathered here to
Speaker 13: celebrate tonight. For me, it's a films create world so
Speaker 13: vivid and stories so powerful that we lose ourselves in them,
Speaker 13: completely cinematic landscape breaking a little.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know what's going on unless I told you
Speaker 1: with the audio, but obviously it's clear in the video
Speaker 1: what's going on there. I mean, that's not why we
Speaker 1: got you here. Why don't you want me to have
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollars check so I can go buy
Speaker 1: a flamethrower. Bro, What's I've.
Speaker 3: Been I've been. I've been sitting around this morning thinking
Speaker 3: about the things that I could buy with that five
Speaker 3: thousand dollars check. But Dave Ramsey has got me peeling
Speaker 3: away at my debt load.
Speaker 12: So I don't. I don't need it. You know, I'm good.
Speaker 1: I told Dave, this is special envelope. Bro, this is
Speaker 1: a special.
Speaker 10: Envelope, Dave.
Speaker 3: Dave would not be happy with any of us. He
Speaker 3: calls us moron stupid.
Speaker 1: All right, so let me we can't do that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let me set the facts here. So I this doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like it's anything set. But one of the things
Speaker 1: that must was a toy and around with is something
Speaker 1: called the Doge dividend. But basically it would be a
Speaker 1: refund check of five thousand dollars that would go to taxpayers.
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you I've actually experienced this.
Speaker 1: I happened to be. I happen to move to Minnesota
Speaker 1: right after Jesse Ventura, right as Jesse Ventura was going
Speaker 1: into office. So one of the things that Ventura did,
Speaker 1: and it caused all sorts of fights. But I was
Speaker 1: a recipient because I had been a taxpayer the year
Speaker 1: prior is it was not five thousand. But jesse Ventura
Speaker 1: decided that he was going to take the budget surplus
Speaker 1: and then just figure it out based on tax bracket
Speaker 1: and send everyone checks. And they did, and I got
Speaker 1: my Jesse Ventura check. That was the thing. And some
Speaker 1: people were very upset, saying, well, I don't know, why
Speaker 1: don't you just hold on to the money and then
Speaker 1: you know, not use it and then next year, rather
Speaker 1: than taking as much tax revenue, why don't you use
Speaker 1: you know, put it towards that, Because inherently there's a
Speaker 1: cost to issuing all of those checks, and I don't
Speaker 1: remember what it was, but it wasn't a small cost,
Speaker 1: and I think they screwed something up to that they
Speaker 1: had to fix. So uh, But then I saw you
Speaker 1: have a very visceral reaction to the proposal yesterday. You
Speaker 1: just you just scream wrote no. And then why why
Speaker 1: don't you want me to have my fun check that
Speaker 1: I can go out and you know, blow on stupid stuff? Man?
Speaker 1: What's up with that?
Speaker 5: Pool me?
Speaker 3: Once you know I'm not going to be fooled again
Speaker 3: or something like the saying goes, look this this needs
Speaker 3: congressional approval. Any initiative to redistribute federal funds is going
Speaker 3: to require legislative action. That's exactly what happened with the
Speaker 3: the the checks that we all received during COVID, that
Speaker 3: was part of a congressional effort to do story.
Speaker 1: I mean we not all of us got one.
Speaker 3: I mean I got one. So I don't know what
Speaker 3: your problem is, but this is this is this is
Speaker 3: an inflationary action when you when you shove money into
Speaker 3: the leaf blower and blow it back out into society.
Speaker 3: This is part of why your groceries are so gosst
Speaker 3: don't expensive, and it takes years for these things to
Speaker 3: balance back out. Sending checks to people is no different
Speaker 3: than subsidizing a failing industry like solar or something. It
Speaker 3: basically just allows them to prop up certain prices because
Speaker 3: it is being subsidized by the public.
Speaker 12: That's what this is.
Speaker 3: But we like to think of it as our money
Speaker 3: and that we're just getting it back. Well, that's what
Speaker 3: tax refunds are for. And the you know, the IRS
Speaker 3: could implement something a little bit smarter that just makes
Speaker 3: this sort of like a tax rebate, but you know,
Speaker 3: you can't just be sending checks. That's also just a
Speaker 3: form of buying people off politically, and I don't like it.
Speaker 1: Well it's okay, yeah, but have you ever seen how
Speaker 1: happy people are when they've got a random check? Show up?
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're happy.
Speaker 3: I don't care if they're happy.
Speaker 1: Ross, let me ask you a question. If you're home
Speaker 1: later and the door, there's a knock on the door,
Speaker 1: and Ross hates people knocking on his door. And Publisher's
Speaker 1: clearing house is standing there, the big ass check that
Speaker 1: just says Ross on it. Are you in a good
Speaker 1: mood or a bad mood? Be super happy? Look at that?
Speaker 1: And he hates people knocking on his door. But he's
Speaker 1: got now, he's got a big old fake you know,
Speaker 1: the big weird check with his name on it. Like
Speaker 1: how happy?
Speaker 12: You guys are part of the problem.
Speaker 3: You're You're going to destroy this country, guys.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the Publisher's clearinghouse. I'm not talking about
Speaker 2: from the government.
Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out that people like you a big check. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people are wrong. People are Stephen, do you even know
Speaker 1: what Ross is putting all his money into? This morning
Speaker 1: dollars as you can get a board Queen Origin story
Speaker 1: A board Queen Origin story set when she's still in
Speaker 1: Space School and she's having a strip to make ends meet,
Speaker 1: and it's starring Sydney Sweeney. So, wow, are you coming
Speaker 1: around on this?
Speaker 3: Yes, I've changed my mind. What can we invest them together?
Speaker 1: ROI exactly? And he's been making weird AI movie posters,
Speaker 1: which he's tweeting out, so if you want to go
Speaker 1: see that weirdness.
Speaker 3: I see the AI movie posters. He's texting them to
Speaker 3: me right now and they're rather suggestive.
Speaker 12: Ross, what are we doing?
Speaker 2: I keep telling Kroc to make rock, to make the
Speaker 2: cleavage bigger, you know, Yeah, Hey, how can we improve this?
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll let you know.
Speaker 1: Well, look, you.
Speaker 3: Can be used to be in nineteen eighties anime artist.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Space School ain't gonna pay for itself.
Speaker 2: I need I need more funding, is what I do.
Speaker 1: So you know that five thousand dollars check and probably
Speaker 1: a bunch of other people's checks. That's that's the thing
Speaker 1: that's gonna have to happen, all right, So uh pivot
Speaker 1: over to this on that wonderful thought, goonies too? Do
Speaker 1: we need a Goonies too? Are we gonna do this thing.
Speaker 1: What are we gonna We're gonna have a go.
Speaker 3: We never need we never needed a Goonies Too. And
Speaker 3: if there was already a Gooni's Too. It was called
Speaker 3: Skeleton Crew on Disney Plus and nobody, nobody really watched it.
Speaker 3: I find this stuff incredibly sad when we try to
Speaker 3: drag back really beloved stories like this that sort of
Speaker 3: our cult status. Right, Like, it was not a huge
Speaker 3: success for its time, but it lingered onto being cult
Speaker 3: status movie over the course of the nineties and the
Speaker 3: two thousands. And to drag these full grown adults back
Speaker 3: on to screen to try to make this thing cute
Speaker 3: again is it's not going to happen. And it's always
Speaker 3: just like the most tried movie format where you make
Speaker 3: the former kids the parents and then their kids go
Speaker 3: on an adventure and it's never as good, never as good.
Speaker 1: Oh, come one. Do you think that the Ghostbusters weren't bad?
Speaker 1: The new ones? Were they?
Speaker 3: I think that they were unnecessary and they didn't bring
Speaker 3: anything to the table.
Speaker 9: Okay, I think that's member also I write, but I
Speaker 9: think also to the horrific decision to do that female
Speaker 9: led Ghostbusters and instead of making the old people, just
Speaker 9: old now for the old actors, you know, to then
Speaker 9: take all the beloved actors but make them play bit
Speaker 9: cameo parts that are not their main characters, and then
Speaker 9: not to have a script.
Speaker 1: And just like that was so awful that I think
Speaker 1: it caused people to be willing to accept the the
Speaker 1: the eventual sequels, which weren't half bad, with maybe more
Speaker 1: open arms, you know what I'm saying, because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: it could be a lot worse, because it was a
Speaker 1: lot worse, So this is somehow better.
Speaker 3: I just moonies never say die, And even hearing about
Speaker 3: this makes me want to die.
Speaker 12: This is this is just not what Cinnamon needs.
Speaker 3: But I think the reason that this is happening, though,
Speaker 3: is because q kq Kwan, the little Asian kid from
Speaker 3: the movie who was just absolutely freaking adorable and he
Speaker 3: was in the Temple of Doom, I mean, his his career,
Speaker 3: his career has blown up in adulthood. So he's finally
Speaker 3: now getting to be a huge star after everything everywhere
Speaker 3: all at once, and his Oscar wins there, and so
Speaker 3: his acting career is now on fire. And I think
Speaker 3: that this movie is probably now has has gas because.
Speaker 12: Of that reason.
Speaker 3: And look, people are going to be disappointed. These people
Speaker 3: are not cute anymore. We don't need to see the
Speaker 3: Goonies get back together. You just need to watch the Goonies.
Speaker 3: It's a great movie.
Speaker 1: Oh you don't. You don't wonder what's loss up to?
Speaker 1: I mean, and Corey Feldman needs the money. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what he's up to, but I'm sure he needs.
Speaker 3: Well, he needs the five thousand dollars check. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's that's for certain.
Speaker 1: But you don't want him to have that, so let him.
Speaker 1: Let him get paid. In another way, speaking of sequels,
Speaker 1: did you get a chance to watch the New Captain America?
Speaker 1: Here I've been, I've been, a couple of things have
Speaker 1: surprised me. One the usual progressive movie outlets, which normally
Speaker 1: fawn over this stuff, especially if there's a swapping of
Speaker 1: the actor, right, because I just think they're getting it
Speaker 1: to you. They're giving them garbage scores like I n G.
Speaker 1: Gave them a five out of ten, Washington Post obliterated them,
Speaker 1: Vulture Variety like, and then I saw people actively criticizing
Speaker 1: that at no point does the Red Hulk bite the
Speaker 1: Green Hulk, which is kind of his thing. So where
Speaker 1: are we going with this? Is this thing going to
Speaker 1: be an new stinker and people aren't just going to
Speaker 1: show up? Or is that just? Is it more toxic fans?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What do you think?
Speaker 3: Well, it's doing fine and the box office is or not?
Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about topping the box office number
Speaker 3: one for two weekends in a row. I don't think
Speaker 3: that critics need to like comic book movies. Now. The
Speaker 3: Rotten Tomatoes score is down for the audiences as well.
Speaker 3: That's not connecting with how the.
Speaker 12: Movie is selling.
Speaker 3: I will say out right, I haven't seen it yet.
Speaker 3: This movie is pretty low.
Speaker 10: On my list.
Speaker 3: I'm very very burnt out on the MCU, and I
Speaker 3: don't particularly want to see anyone else be Captain America
Speaker 3: besides Chris Evans.
Speaker 12: So I just have no.
Speaker 3: Motivation to do it, even though I love Harrison Ford
Speaker 3: and absolutely adore that man, but I don't really want
Speaker 3: to see him running around without his shirt off as
Speaker 3: a CGI read monster. It's just not interesting to me.
Speaker 3: So I just think that people are generally frustrated with
Speaker 3: this movie and the ongoing story that they're telling here.
Speaker 1: So what was that noise that I just started, So
Speaker 1: we get a lightsaber, you know.
Speaker 3: So I work in the basement of my home and
Speaker 3: when my children and my wife get up around this
Speaker 3: time and start moving about, my life becomes like I'm
Speaker 3: underneath a herd of elephants down here. Oh, all all
Speaker 3: of you and all of you and Raleigh get to
Speaker 3: listen to that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's just Raleigh Greensborough too. So yeah, maybe
Speaker 1: some maybe you just got a drug him or something.
Speaker 1: Do you remember I remember incredible? Do you remember how
Speaker 1: incredible all of those work from our broadcast from home
Speaker 1: situations during COVID were like, remember the one guy who's
Speaker 1: doing these like the business analysts, and you just see
Speaker 1: this baby just brust into this room. And then there's
Speaker 1: another one who's in one of those little roly things,
Speaker 1: and then you see the small Asian woman on her
Speaker 1: knees dragging those kids out of the camera frame. And
Speaker 1: then everyone's like, everyone's like, oh, that's your your housekeeper,
Speaker 1: and dude's like, no, that's my wife, right, And how
Speaker 1: awkward that was chick who had the adult toys on
Speaker 1: the shelf behind her.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I teach, I teach, I teach a media class and
Speaker 3: we watched that video with our students every time we
Speaker 3: start the class off, and that family has has gone
Speaker 3: on to continue to do interviews and appear on news
Speaker 3: to show those kids all grown up.
Speaker 12: But you know it's adorable, I.
Speaker 3: Will say for your audience though, just because we like
Speaker 3: to talk entertainment, I have not been up to speed
Speaker 3: on Captain America again, like I'm pretty low energy on it.
Speaker 3: But I am up to speed and ready for the
Speaker 3: debut this morning of season five of The Chosen, the
Speaker 3: Jesus and the Disciples series that streams yes on the
Speaker 3: Chosen app. I mean this, This show is hugely, hugely
Speaker 3: popular and season five the trailer drops here in about
Speaker 3: an hour and a half on YouTube. This is going
Speaker 3: to be the final run of The Chosen. I love
Speaker 3: this show. It took me a while to get started
Speaker 3: on it. I'm super skeptical of Christian entertainment because I'm
Speaker 3: so conditioned to it being bad. But as soon as
Speaker 3: I dove into this, into this this series.
Speaker 12: And got a couple episodes in, I couldn't put it.
Speaker 1: Down all right real quick, just because you brought this
Speaker 1: oddity to our attention. And I've got two minutes speaking
Speaker 1: to member Barry's. Does everyone remember this guy do with
Speaker 1: the famous interview after somebody attempted to break in and
Speaker 1: assault his sister, mister Antoine dops.
Speaker 11: Well, obviously, we have a rapist in Lincoln Park.
Speaker 1: He's climbing in your windows.
Speaker 7: He's snatching your people up, trying to rape them.
Speaker 11: So y'all need to hiji kids, hide your wife, and
Speaker 11: hadji hug because they're raping everybody out here.
Speaker 1: We got all right, all right, So anyway, I after
Speaker 1: that happened, obviously, when the viral fame, I did see
Speaker 1: him do a web redemption on Tosh and Yeah. The
Speaker 1: funniest parts is he's like, by the way, I'm gay,
Speaker 1: he said in the middle of it. I'm like, really,
Speaker 1: we had no idea. Yeah, but now he's a real
Speaker 1: estate agent. I got I'm gonna play this real quick. Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm at Swan Dotson.
Speaker 11: You may recognize me from a world famous viral video.
Speaker 11: A lot has changed in my life since Real Mouth.
Speaker 11: These days, i'm telling folks to hide your wife, hid
Speaker 11: your kids, hide your whole family and a brand new
Speaker 11: high home. Buying a Hu's home is so dull. Its
Speaker 11: life really really dumb. For real High homes makes the
Speaker 11: buying process. It's easy call high Homes.

Speaker 12: And to Force be with you.
Speaker 2: Seven thirty five Case U Day Radio program update on Case.
Speaker 2: He came in today around six o'clock looking rather sick.
Speaker 2: It's like, dude a something I'm not sure what it was,
Speaker 2: and around I don't know, like this six twenty sixth
Speaker 2: mark of the show. This morning, he made a b
Speaker 2: line for the bathroom, absolute panic, waddling down the hallway
Speaker 2: and he was in there for a while. We came
Speaker 2: back from the break, he was not here. I threw
Speaker 2: on an old cut. I went down to check out
Speaker 2: on him, and he is out for the day. The
Speaker 2: dude is sick. He's not feeling well, and I blame
Speaker 2: it on the new Captain America movie. For no reason whatsoever.
Speaker 2: I'm just old and bitter and Steve Rodgers as Captain
Speaker 2: America anyway. That's besides the point. I don't want to
Speaker 2: be the reason. I don't want to be the one
Speaker 2: that influences you one way or the other to see
Speaker 2: that movie. But I'm saying Casey definitely did see it
Speaker 2: this weekend, and now he has the mud butt, So
Speaker 2: I mean, you make of that what you will. We
Speaker 2: are going to continue on the show with some old replays,
Speaker 2: some old cuts from last week, and hopefully Casey is
Speaker 2: back tomorrow. It is the Casey O Day Radio program.
Speaker 1: They're all in. Basically, they're like a if you go
Speaker 1: to a restaurant, they're going to be you know, like
Speaker 1: there's gonna be suddenly spy devices everywhere and they're gonna
Speaker 1: be listening to you. But what do you not understand?
Speaker 1: Why you have jd Vance who's literally sitting there we
Speaker 1: played the audio and is talking about the idea that
Speaker 1: maybe if somebody says something online, you don't throw them
Speaker 1: in jail. That's kind of seemingly a plank of this administration.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, So then to
Speaker 1: imagine that it's all to do that is on a
Speaker 1: little project.
Speaker 3: Y E.
Speaker 1: Just to me. So I'm gonna I'm gonna think the
Speaker 1: worst about that whole Luichi list thing. I can't find
Speaker 1: the restaurant one. You get the gist. Ah, here we go.
Speaker 1: Wait a month until you suddenly find yourself looking around
Speaker 1: in a restaurant to make sure no one overhears what
Speaker 1: you're saying, or when your conversations with neighbors dwindle, dwindle
Speaker 1: to pleasantries about the weather, it's only just begun again.
Speaker 1: What you're talking about is an atmosphere that existed and
Speaker 1: most recently existed in Eastern European former Russian nation communist nations. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: it's still happening in the Belarus today, where they would
Speaker 1: essentially they would they would deputize your neighbor to tattle
Speaker 1: on you, and your neighbor would do it, not necessarily
Speaker 1: because they wanted you to go to the goulaw, but
Speaker 1: they realized that they didn't give up some names and
Speaker 1: some information, they wouldn't look loyal to the party, and
Speaker 1: so they literally make stuff up about people. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's how you got neighbors, nobody trusting anybody, and it's
Speaker 1: it's not a sustainable system. And that's what you wanted,
Speaker 1: right when you're cheering on the whole. Hey, we need
Speaker 1: you know what we need. We need a group of
Speaker 1: theater kids to decide what can and can't be set
Speaker 1: on the internet. We need to do. So what that
Speaker 1: guy's pug did a Nazi salute, Let's throw them in jail.
Speaker 1: That's that's all the things that you championed, and what
Speaker 1: you think Patel's going to go in and do the
Speaker 1: thing that you secretly wanted to do right away? I
Speaker 1: don't know about that. I guess I should use my
Speaker 1: real name on social media? Is that what this has
Speaker 1: come to? Your name is hot COADMD dot bluesky. I'm
Speaker 1: not finding your address with that. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: And nobody else cares? You have thirty five people that
Speaker 1: follow you. Nobody cares, So you know that's the real
Speaker 1: irony here. You're gonna run around and you're posting things
Speaker 1: like Luigi list and you know they essentially saying that
Speaker 1: fifty one senators and an FBI director now have to
Speaker 1: be murdered, and probably nothing will happen because they realize
Speaker 1: what affeckless loser you are. I know, guy with thirty
Speaker 1: five followers gonna do something until you go to Hitman
Speaker 1: dot Com like all the rest of those idiots, and
Speaker 1: then you're one of my stories. Yeah, you're you're gonna
Speaker 1: be just fine. Ah, what a day, What a day?
Speaker 1: What a day. I'll tell you some having the worst
Speaker 1: of the days with Kash Patel in there. And that's
Speaker 1: Adam schiff Man, remember Adam Schiff and I just does
Speaker 1: not get enough press coverage. Adam Schiff was removed from
Speaker 1: his committee assignments and formally censured by the House of
Speaker 1: Representatives at the time he's now a senator, because they
Speaker 1: basically said, you lie, nobody trusts you. We can't have
Speaker 1: you with the ability to literally access classified information. This
Speaker 1: isn't happening anymore. And he absolutely melted it down when
Speaker 1: they did that. Well, there's a lot more there, and
Speaker 1: Kash Bttel has made no bones about the fact that
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff there, you know, there possibly could be some
Speaker 1: other stuff. So this is literally his worst nightmare.
Speaker 14: This is someone we cannot trust. This is someone who
Speaker 14: lacks the character to do this job, someone who lacks
Speaker 14: the integrity to do this job. We know that our
Speaker 14: Republican colleagues know that the only qualification Cash Battella has
Speaker 14: to be FBI director. Is that when everyone else in
Speaker 14: the first Trump administration said no, I.
Speaker 1: Won't do that.
Speaker 14: That crosses moral, ethical, and legal lines, Cash Battel said,
Speaker 14: sign me up. In the first Charge administration, as we
Speaker 14: are seeing in the second you rise to the level
Speaker 14: of your sick efancye. And no one is a bigger
Speaker 14: or a dangerous sick e than cash Battel. This political
Speaker 14: hack does not deserve to be in this building.
Speaker 1: He can't do the job.
Speaker 14: He won't protect the public, He will misuse the resources
Speaker 14: of the bureau. He will reaponize it against the President's
Speaker 14: political opponents, rather than the protecting the safety the public
Speaker 14: safety of the American people.
Speaker 1: Dude, you got thrown off all your committees. Nobody trusts you.
Speaker 1: They didn't even make a big stink on the Democrat side.
Speaker 1: Annie hemmdon had And there's the audio where they're like
Speaker 1: during the A and A thing and we're screaming like idiots.
Speaker 1: They didn't really mount anything. You know why, because it
Speaker 1: was indefensible the stuff you were doing. You told everybody
Speaker 1: point blank that there was evidence you had seen it,
Speaker 1: and it would come out that that Trump colluded with Russia,
Speaker 1: which was a big charge. You said that evidence existed,
Speaker 1: and then you didn't even have the You didn't even
Speaker 1: pretend like some of the other evidence was just your misinterpretation.
Speaker 1: It just never existed, clearly, and all the shenanigans around
Speaker 1: how that whole committee ran. Yeah, I watching this guy
Speaker 1: be nervous makes my absolute day because he's not even
Speaker 1: making typical Adam Schiff arguments. He's throwing everything he's got.
Speaker 1: This was prior to the vote, and it did no good.
Speaker 15: Adam Schiff is the worst criminal in Congress in the
Speaker 15: last tw.
Speaker 1: Hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 15: This is well Brits broke that we're going to talk
Speaker 15: about right now, is Adam Schiff met with a whistle blow.
Speaker 15: Adam Schiff went to the podium day after day after
Speaker 15: day saying I know nothing about this. We're not going
Speaker 15: to discuss it, We're going to protect it. And then
Speaker 15: he Adam Schiff led the prosecution of the impeachment trial
Speaker 15: in the Senate of President Donald Trump. Talk about someone
Speaker 15: who was conflicted out of the game because he was
Speaker 15: part of the hoax that brought Tarmela in, manufactured that
Speaker 15: false accusation and then pedaled it out to the world,
Speaker 15: and he continued, you know, not surprising. He's lied about
Speaker 15: almost everything in his life, but now he lied just
Speaker 15: to set up a presidential impeachment. And that's what I
Speaker 15: was talking about, these disinformation campaigns. And then he should
Speaker 15: be investigated because he lied to the world about his
Speaker 15: interactions with Tarmela, who is a whistleblower. And I can't
Speaker 15: stress it enough that started a presidential impeachment and ended.
Speaker 1: Up what was the final cost and the Mueller thing,
Speaker 1: the Mueller thing was that fifty some million dollars And
Speaker 1: that's what not to mention the instability, the lies, the
Speaker 1: amount of money that people surrounding Trump ended up having
Speaker 1: to spend fend themselves. Yeah, you should be nervous. And
Speaker 1: your buddy with his all white little beach club, mister
Speaker 1: Whitehouse or whatever up there with his all white club
Speaker 1: that he was a you know, like to go to
Speaker 1: because you know it's just whites. Ugh, no pores, no
Speaker 1: colored people, no, none of that. Just eh whites, white House.
Speaker 1: It's in your name, bro, it's in your name. This guy,
Speaker 1: you're the moral compass. You're out there standing next to shift,
Speaker 1: nobody's listening to you. Rashptel Mark, My words will cause
Speaker 1: evil in this building behind us, and Republicans who vote
Speaker 1: for him will rue that day. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they're ross. Did you see any ruin on the Republican
Speaker 1: front yesterday after this? I didn't see any ruin. Maybe
Speaker 1: the ruin starts later. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it was delayed because of the snow.
Speaker 1: Oh they put the ruin off because the that's you know,
Speaker 1: that would make sense. There's a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: was put off, Like assuming Lincoln's not in school today,
Speaker 1: so why should he also be ruining. That's that's a
Speaker 1: fair point. So ah, what a good day. I know
Speaker 1: we didn't win the hockey thing, but I'll take this
Speaker 1: as the consolation prize six forty five. Hang on, that
Speaker 1: is not why he quote swapped out the resolute desk
Speaker 1: because he thought there was a booger on it. And
Speaker 1: I know, you know, this is New York Post. They
Speaker 1: know that the thing is being refurbished. It literally was discussed.
Speaker 1: They go through, right. You gotta, you know, make sure
Speaker 1: that the how old is that thing? Been around a bit?
Speaker 1: So they'll go through and they'll refurbish it. You gotta
Speaker 1: put the secret map pieces back in the secret drawers,
Speaker 1: you know, get that thing loaded for bear. The desk
Speaker 1: which was first utilized in the White House actually by
Speaker 1: John F. Kennedy. Really it was the first also utilized
Speaker 1: by Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, than Trump.
Speaker 1: Now they're they're just temporarily replaced. It's fine. I got
Speaker 1: another desk in there. He's got room to work the
Speaker 1: die coke buttons where it needs to be. This is
Speaker 1: not a big deal, and it's not over a booger. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see. I hope there's a little more history here.
Speaker 1: When was it actually because people think that the that
Speaker 1: the White House always had this thing, but actually one
Speaker 1: of the railroad companies had it from like the eighteen
Speaker 1: fifties or something. All right, no, no, no, here we go. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so I wanted to be clear here. All right,
Speaker 1: So the initial desk was built the eighteen fifties, and
Speaker 1: then what then became the updated version of the resolute
Speaker 1: desk was, oh, President Hayes eighteen eighty when the HMS
Speaker 1: resolute part like that part is true, that's what the
Speaker 1: desk is made of of, presented by Queen Victoria at
Speaker 1: the time. So Yeah, they're just there. They'll buff it
Speaker 1: up as long as they don't get that lady who
Speaker 1: they hired to restore that Jesus photo to do it,
Speaker 1: remember that painting disaster. I think it'll be okay, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that's accurate. All right, How are we
Speaker 1: feeling about the James Bond franchise? By the way, so,
Speaker 1: and I wonder what the dollar amount. It had to
Speaker 1: be huge, because you know, the family members of the
Speaker 1: author of the James Bond books have always always been
Speaker 1: there exerting creative control. Anything that you wanted to do
Speaker 1: with James Bond, you had to go through the family,
Speaker 1: Michael Wilson, Barbara Broccoli or whatever. And and for the
Speaker 1: first time ever, the family has signed over creative control
Speaker 1: to Jeff Bezos. And if you remember Amazon when and
Speaker 1: paid an ungodly sum, I don't remember what it was.
Speaker 1: It was like in the it was like a billion
Speaker 1: dollars or something right to the family of Tolkien so
Speaker 1: that they could expand on that. And we saw how
Speaker 1: that worked out like that. That turned into a bit
Speaker 1: of a dud there. So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are nervous what they're gonna do with it. I
Speaker 1: I look, do I think that they're gonna do what
Speaker 1: they're doing with the Jesus Christ Superstar and they're gonna
Speaker 1: get the black queer female actress from the Ariana Grande
Speaker 1: weird videos? No, I wonder if he doesn't put himself
Speaker 1: in this. Have you seen have you seen bezos man?
Speaker 1: Like he's just like, I don't know. Ross and I
Speaker 1: were discussing this off the air, so you don't think
Speaker 1: he's on steroids. You just think that like this is
Speaker 1: this is his jam.
Speaker 2: It amazes me to me, and you see this a lot,
Speaker 2: like there are people that don't go to the gym,
Speaker 2: and I've like they assume that anybody that makes gains
Speaker 2: at the gym or that gets in shape or in steroids.
Speaker 2: The dude is not on steroids. He looks like somebody
Speaker 2: that he looks like somebody that, yeah, he looks like
Speaker 2: somebody that started focusing on his body and caring about
Speaker 2: his health because he can't because he's a billionaire now.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure, yeah, he's got a metabolicist and a
Speaker 1: nutritionist and right he's spending the money. It's just the
Speaker 1: line is steroids.
Speaker 2: You see the same thing online about RFK Junior where
Speaker 2: you have like people like, oh, he's on steroids because
Speaker 2: he can he can bench press, and it's like, no,
Speaker 2: it looks like somebody who's like focused on his health
Speaker 2: and you can't. But he has the time to do
Speaker 2: it now, so you have the time to invest and
Speaker 2: go to the gym. And now he looks healthy.
Speaker 1: Well he's got he's got a yacht with a chase
Speaker 1: yacht the size of a yacht. I'm sure has a
Speaker 1: gym on it as well. I'm sure he's got several
Speaker 1: gyms probably, yeah, yeah, no, no question there. But also
Speaker 1: I wonder if that like, what what is that fascination
Speaker 1: with some of these billionaires, you know, like Zuckerberg, He's like,
Speaker 1: I'm surfing and fighting mma now right and and so,
Speaker 1: and that's fine if he wants to go ahead and
Speaker 1: do that. I wonder that if the next James Bond
Speaker 1: is a bald dude from Seattle.
Speaker 2: Eight oh six kse eody radio program Russin for KC
Speaker 2: at the Moment and let me tell you a story,
Speaker 2: man of a man who came into work today not
Speaker 2: looking well powered through the first two segments and then
Speaker 2: around six point thirty something happened that I never I've
Speaker 2: never witnessed, or been a part of, or seen in
Speaker 2: my radio career dating back to nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: That was a man.
Speaker 2: Bolting out of his chair during commercial break, making a
Speaker 2: beeline to the bathroom, waddling down the hallway looking like
Speaker 2: he was going to pass out and die. We came
Speaker 2: back from break, he wasn't here. We stalled a little bit,
Speaker 2: went down and checked out on the bathroom, and that
Speaker 2: dude was not capable of doing a broadcast, so he
Speaker 2: went home. I don't know if it's a stomach virus.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the new Captain America movie.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but he is definitely
Speaker 2: he can't do a show. I mean he could, but
Speaker 2: it'd be gross and you're trying to eat breakfast. So
Speaker 2: we're not going to do that. So hopefully Casey back tomorrow.
Speaker 2: In the meantime, we're going to run a best of
Speaker 2: some old cuts from last week. It is the CaCO
Speaker 2: Day Radio program. Oh wait, make sure you go on
Speaker 2: to our Twitter account, our x account at KC on
Speaker 2: the radio and make sure you send prayers for CAC.
Speaker 2: Prayers for CAC to get over the mud butt. That's
Speaker 2: at CAC on the radio. It is the CaCO Day
Speaker 2: radio program.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, I'm not saying I won't watch it.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's hard to watch. It is it
Speaker 1: is well a little. If it's hard to watch, some
Speaker 1: of it's rather amusing because the one super liberal leader
Speaker 1: in Germany is one of the five who sat there
Speaker 1: during Trump's first term when he said, Hey, you know
Speaker 1: what y'all shouldn't do. You shouldn't just have Russia, you know,
Speaker 1: meeting your energy needs. Because if something goes sideways and
Speaker 1: you're closing all these coal plants and then it's just Russia,
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna look dumb and things are gonna
Speaker 1: get expensive and it's gonna suck. And one of the
Speaker 1: people laughing at that table is essentially the Adam Schiff
Speaker 1: of Germany. Okay, that's the dude days out of the
Speaker 1: German election that is getting absolutely Oh what what what
Speaker 1: jd vanceys doing? And I and and here's the thing
Speaker 1: I don't welcome in some isolationist way. I just it's
Speaker 1: it's just been so long, so uh Jay jd Vance
Speaker 1: and as well as Pete hagg Seth obviously is Defense secretary,
Speaker 1: you know, really on the European tour, and of course
Speaker 1: Vance gave the speech to their face was just like, hey,
Speaker 1: probably shouldn't throw people in jail for memes. That's kind
Speaker 1: of dumb. We don't like that. And everyone's like, ah,
Speaker 1: he went in there and he he what did I
Speaker 1: s He like him to showing up at his best
Speaker 1: friend's birthday party and making a scene. No, that was
Speaker 1: literally a discussion about defense and security stuff. So one
Speaker 1: that was there too, you guys, including the what is
Speaker 1: she from Finland or something? The the TI, the really
Speaker 1: thin chick who's like, oh, we're gonna We're gonna shut
Speaker 1: down the X. Right, you and your cohorts have your
Speaker 1: defense essentially subsidized by the United States. And it's more
Speaker 1: so than that. It also is the pillar of industry
Speaker 1: and commerce in several European cities, not just in Germany.
Speaker 1: In Spain we have a huge, huge bay was it
Speaker 1: Roda Roda whatever? It is huge basis over in Europe.
Speaker 1: And so you sit there and and and you watch
Speaker 1: an interview in Jade. Vance is like, hey, man, you know,
Speaker 1: one of the things we're giving a lot of thought
Speaker 1: to is is the is the whole part where you
Speaker 1: guys are willing to throw people in jail for memes
Speaker 1: and and you know our values here is the United
Speaker 1: States of America. Well why why would you do that?
Speaker 1: And he says this days ahead of the German election,
Speaker 1: I might point.
Speaker 16: Out Germany's entire defense is subsidized by the American taxpayer.
Speaker 16: There are thousands upon thousands of American troops in Germany today.
Speaker 16: Do you I think that the American taxpayer is going
Speaker 16: to stand for that if you get thrown in jail
Speaker 16: in Germany for posting a mean tweet, of course they're
Speaker 16: not right. So the point that I try to make
Speaker 16: to our European friends, and I think that there are
Speaker 16: friends I believe that I know President Trump does, is
Speaker 16: that friendship is based on shared values. You do not
Speaker 16: have shared values. If you're jailing people for saying we
Speaker 16: should close down our border, you don't have shared values.
Speaker 16: If you cancel elections because you don't like the result,
Speaker 16: and that happened in Romania, you don't have You do
Speaker 16: not have shared values if you're so afraid of your
Speaker 16: own people that you silence them and shut them up.
Speaker 16: So let's have shared values, let's defend the democracy, Let's
Speaker 16: have free expression, not just in the United States but.
Speaker 1: All over the Western world.
Speaker 16: That is the path to strong alliances in Europe.
Speaker 1: That is, by the way, the level of hand grenade.
Speaker 1: He just rolled into the room with that. And I
Speaker 1: know people are like, oh, why would you, Why are
Speaker 1: you upset the Apple card? Because for too long everything's
Speaker 1: been allowed to progress to where it is. Right, the
Speaker 1: idea that the US you want to be friends with
Speaker 1: the US, and we, in a limited way want to
Speaker 1: be friends with you turned into we essentially, you know,
Speaker 1: we fund two thirds of NATO, which is essentially the
Speaker 1: Europeans defense system, so they're able to you know, take
Speaker 1: their funding, their money within their particular economies and then
Speaker 1: spend it on other stuff. Now, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: there are strategic alliances the US has to have, and
Speaker 1: with the threat of China and Russia where it is,
Speaker 1: you know, there needs to be forward deployed areas in
Speaker 1: the world. I understand that, and we have long standing partnerships,
Speaker 1: a lot of which were born out of World War Two,
Speaker 1: which are strategically advantageous. Germany houses what it's not just
Speaker 1: one base it's like seven or something, and it's huge
Speaker 1: for a couple of the big German cities. It's it
Speaker 1: probably would destabilize the economy of the regions if the
Speaker 1: US just left. And so they're sitting out there and jd.
Speaker 1: Vance says that, and this is the part that's hard
Speaker 1: to watch. Now you're seeing these German polics, like within
Speaker 1: a day they're like, oh no, don't you won't you
Speaker 1: miss our strudle. You're gonna miss our strudle. You know
Speaker 1: what to go anywhere? Dude. That that put the fear
Speaker 1: of God into them, because now you got to pay
Speaker 1: for your own stuff and you gotta eat all that
Speaker 1: strudle too. Uh and uh. The financial impact of that
Speaker 1: is wild man. And then of course that opens up
Speaker 1: the next layer of people criticizing, like, oh, well, you're
Speaker 1: just you know, you're now you're just gonna use the
Speaker 1: European nations like puppets. Well they don't have to be,
Speaker 1: and you're not using them like puppets. You're just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm the you know, I'm the the alpha in the room.
Speaker 1: Showed me a little respect, and we've just we've just
Speaker 1: gotten that little bit too far, and we we have
Speaker 1: been hesitant, always hesitant to go hey, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we got to eat too. And so it feels really
Speaker 1: uncomfortable that you're doing it now, But she didn't do
Speaker 1: it forever. It's in the in the same way that
Speaker 1: And I don't know if this is their master plan.
Speaker 1: If it is one, it's gonna be an ugly ride.
Speaker 1: And I don't know that you get there. But it
Speaker 1: used to be the US didn't have federal income text,
Speaker 1: but we still had stuff. Not as much stuff, but
Speaker 1: we had stuff. So how did we have stuff? We
Speaker 1: had stuff because anyone who wanted to do business in
Speaker 1: the United States, with the world's richest economy and chose
Speaker 1: to terif us, we teif them. That's it. There's a
Speaker 1: cost of doing business. It's a it's a cover charge
Speaker 1: at the hot bar. Okay, you got a great band inside.
Speaker 1: That's what we used to do, and then we didn't,
Speaker 1: and then we we migrated to this other thing. Well,
Speaker 1: coming out of Europe and coming out of World War two.
Speaker 1: And that's not to say that we're not going to
Speaker 1: have bases in places where people clearly don't align with
Speaker 1: our values. Turkey clearly doesn't align with our values. However,
Speaker 1: there is a lot of strategic importance there. Okay, so
Speaker 1: that's simple. And when you're in and when you're dealing
Speaker 1: in this world with countries like Russia and China, let
Speaker 1: me just stick with China for a moment, you realize
Speaker 1: that China thinks all of that is China, right, This
Speaker 1: is what people fail to understand China, and within the
Speaker 1: Communist Party, which is China, thinks that's all China. When
Speaker 1: I say that's all China, I mean Korea, Philippines, they
Speaker 1: think that's all them. Probably Vietnam that's them. They think
Speaker 1: that's all China. And that's the way that it should be.
Speaker 1: All those stupid little islands that they essentially dumped on
Speaker 1: very fragile, ecologically fragile coral reefs. So go, oh, look,
Speaker 1: we got islands that that's ours two and then two
Speaker 1: hundred and ten miles around it, which is just an insane,
Speaker 1: weird number they thought up. And if Europe wants to
Speaker 1: go at that alone, and not to mention Ross, hey,
Speaker 1: do you know what happens when Europe's just left to
Speaker 1: their own devices historically? Have you ever seen any of this,
Speaker 1: you ever looked at any of this little research. What
Speaker 1: you're what the European countries like to do. They like
Speaker 1: to kill each other. Yeah, yeah, they got beef, bro,
Speaker 1: they got beef, and a lot of it's resource based. Look,
Speaker 1: I understand times are different and things are new, but yeah,
Speaker 1: the very basic ask that if we're going to essentially
Speaker 1: structure and stabilize part of your economy, that you don't
Speaker 1: sit there at the UN delegation. We're all sitting around
Speaker 1: talking about us like it's you know, the mean girls club.
Speaker 2: At lunch right, and you can we can if listen
Speaker 2: if we're there, They're like, oh, we don't want you here,
Speaker 2: you know, you mind your own business. So we're like,
Speaker 2: we're going to leave. And they're like, oh, well now
Speaker 2: you don't care about Europe. We can't win, and they're
Speaker 2: they're spoiled and they're entitled. They really are. They Oh,
Speaker 2: we have our healthcare system. Yeah, because we're paying for
Speaker 2: all of your defense. Correct, you're the world's upcut. Sorry,
Speaker 2: that's what it is. So you can choose to be
Speaker 2: a partner in it. And Germany obviously has a lot
Speaker 2: of innovators. They have business aptitude, they know how to
Speaker 2: make money, they know how to build things they.
Speaker 1: Know how to uh mobilize. Okay, right, so is that
Speaker 1: a strategic partnership or is it? Oh that soldiers, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he made a mean tweet and he happens to be
Speaker 1: married to a German citizen because he's been stationed there
Speaker 1: for three years or whatever, and we're gonna make his
Speaker 1: life help what do you want to do? And so
Speaker 1: now you're seeing these German politicians, especially ahead of election,
Speaker 1: because this is stuff that resonates with people. If you
Speaker 1: live near one any one of those US military installations,
Speaker 1: you know somebody who works there. I promise you, I
Speaker 1: promise you that entire region around Ramstein and whatnot, that
Speaker 1: whole like that would devastate. How many of you listening
Speaker 1: military have been stationed there. What would that look like
Speaker 1: with no Americans there other than you know, either random
Speaker 1: tourists or whatever. So it's gonna be really interesting. And
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, the US is meddling in there. You
Speaker 1: guys literally wrote in your stupid der Spiegel or whatever.
Speaker 1: The thing is, right, we talked about it on the air,
Speaker 1: where you essentially took a united stance within the German
Speaker 1: media that Donald Trump is essentially Hitler, which is which
Speaker 1: is really rich considering where it's coming from. And all
Speaker 1: he's saying. He's not saying he wants to do anything too.
Speaker 1: He's just like, well, look, if you don't if you
Speaker 1: don't like us, we'll go eat at another table. It's
Speaker 1: your choice, and I'm here for it. I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: watching that all day. All right, coming up on the show,
Speaker 1: Representative Crockett, the gift that keeps on giving, we'll do that.
Speaker 1: There's a new FBI chief. Holy cow, there's not enough
Speaker 1: popcorn Germany. Do you guys make pop You don't make popcorn?
Speaker 1: Oh that's too bad because where I need a lot
Speaker 1: of popcorn? Of phone number eight eight eight nine three
Speaker 1: four seven eight seven four. So what do we do?
Speaker 1: Do we jail the US hockey team? Or are we
Speaker 1: good and win? Last night? I don't want to go
Speaker 1: all Ouda and Kusa and all that crazy. You remember
Speaker 1: all that crazy crap that came out what Saddam's kids
Speaker 1: were up to and managing a RAX Olympic team like
Speaker 1: you didn't want to lose. Unfortunately, though, in the the
Speaker 1: Gang of four or whatever, I don't eve remember what
Speaker 1: is technically the name of this tournament. Four nations okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So usked Canada last night, who we beat,
Speaker 1: remember three to one the other night. This was the
Speaker 1: final though bracketed through and uh it took over time.
Speaker 1: Canada got it done three to two. So good, good
Speaker 1: game there, I'll tell you. The redeeming thing is, uh
Speaker 1: Trudeau tried to make this like his win, and even
Speaker 1: Canadians who seem to be very like nationalized and upset
Speaker 1: with the US are also like, uh, now you suck too,
Speaker 1: This isn't for you. Shut up. So that's fun to watch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the four Nations face off tournament, which they did. This
Speaker 1: is instead of the All Star this is NHL's All Star, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm sure the ratings just killed and
Speaker 1: definitely surpassed what the NBA put up the other day.
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know what it was. It was good.
Speaker 1: It was a good hockey match if you watched it,
Speaker 1: And that's good, and that's fine that they went ahead
Speaker 1: and won. It's fun. I mean, we have the Stanley Cups.
Speaker 1: That's what counts. But okay, all right, everyone had a
Speaker 1: good time, and you know what, it had been a while,
Speaker 1: like really Ross and I we got kind of screwed
Speaker 1: on this whole, Like we don't remember how good it
Speaker 1: probably felt with the Miracle on Ice right where you
Speaker 1: really had that rival. We got whiffs of it in
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Do you remember when they tried to like
Speaker 1: jazz up figure skating and we go against Russia on
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics. Even then we weren't sitting there figuring
Speaker 1: out where our Cold War bunkers were for when the
Speaker 1: nukes came. Like that was you had real skin in
Speaker 1: the game, and we just haven't had anything like that
Speaker 1: in forever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did we have? We jypped. We got like
Speaker 2: Nancy Kerrigan versus like Sona Bay Yule or something, yees
Speaker 2: a thirty six Casey o D a radio program. It's
Speaker 2: ross in for Casey, And every time I explain what's
Speaker 2: going on, it just gets more ridiculous. But I just
Speaker 2: was explaining to our boss Trevor and the phony call him.
Speaker 2: He's like, where's case He's missing. I feel like I'm
Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman at the end of Shawshank Redemption, and I
Speaker 2: can't do a really good Morgan Freeman voice. But you
Speaker 2: know that part at the end where the warden, you know,
Speaker 2: rips away the poster and there's that hole and you
Speaker 2: see the straight un shot of his face, and then
Speaker 2: Morgan Freeman's voice is like on this day, Andy Dufrey
Speaker 2: and crawled through full football fields of poopye. I feel
Speaker 2: like that. When it comes to explaining why Casey isn't here,
Speaker 2: he got up. I haven't seen this in twenty eight
Speaker 2: years of doing radio. Got up in a panic during
Speaker 2: a commercial break, made a bee line down the hallway,
Speaker 2: barely made it to the door through all the construction here.
Speaker 2: It's like an obstacle course like the old American Gladiators.
Speaker 2: I was like, look at him, go is that case
Speaker 2: Here's a nitro. It's amazing. It's impressive. Man, he's spry
Speaker 2: for someone who has to go to the bathroom. That
Speaker 2: bad anyway, he cannot continue the show. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's like a virus, a stomach bug, or the
Speaker 2: mud butt. Whatever it is, that ain't gonna happen. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna play some old cuts, some replays, and we're
Speaker 2: back tomorrow. Make sure to leave prayers for Casey at
Speaker 2: Casey on the radio. It is the Kcoday Radio program.
Speaker 1: And just a quick pro tip if you're getting ready
Speaker 1: to head outside, you're dumb. Yeah, yeah, don't be dumb.
Speaker 1: I know something. You gotta go to work. There's nothing
Speaker 1: you can do about it, but don't be dumb. The
Speaker 1: Cacoday radio process and was, Yeah, barely made it out
Speaker 1: of wake Forest this morning. So although you said wake
Speaker 1: Forest wasn't the problem, it was right when you hit
Speaker 1: in the Raleigh roads.
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, it was the side roads and wake
Speaker 2: four La My Street was nasty. Sure, side roads y,
Speaker 2: Main Street was fine. Capitol Boulevard, like, whoever did the
Speaker 2: right hand lane going from like Wake Forest to five
Speaker 2: forty give them all the money because they were fantastic.
Speaker 2: Oh good, okay, But then you get past five forty
Speaker 2: like and you're like, oh man, it starts to suck
Speaker 2: now and it's just it's just a sheet of ice.
Speaker 1: And then I came in gross never drives capital in cause.
Speaker 2: No, And that's how you know, like, I'm not taking
Speaker 2: sights or something.
Speaker 1: I don't know what his fear is. So you did
Speaker 1: that because obviously that's going to be the main thoroughfare
Speaker 1: this morning, and it's still sucked. Triangle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's the sheet of ice. And I got
Speaker 2: here and I got the call from History channel, and
Speaker 2: I'm proud to announce I'm going to be part of
Speaker 2: Ice Road Truckers starting on Monday. It's been about fourteen
Speaker 2: years with the show. It's the honor of my lifetime
Speaker 2: to wake up with you every morning. But I mean, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is uh I'm looking for. Yeah, I'm looking for
Speaker 2: the next step being a nice road trucker. So now
Speaker 2: that I'm qualified, you know, it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Know work out for everyone on that show. Right then
Speaker 1: we find okay, we don't tell it isn't and then
Speaker 1: you know, it becomes a whole thing. So yeah, you
Speaker 1: know you don't have to leave. I wouldn't go ahead
Speaker 1: and do that, and that's fine. We got enough stuff
Speaker 1: to make you angry at home. You don't even have to,
Speaker 1: but if you do, and I know some of you do,
Speaker 1: because our listeners really are the backbone of you know,
Speaker 1: commerce at the end of the day, keeping the trucks
Speaker 1: moving right. Get we get the I think every beer
Speaker 1: delivery guy listens to us. We appreciate that. Get the
Speaker 1: up ups people down. You want to get all your stuff.
Speaker 1: We know you're gonna be out there, so be careful.
Speaker 2: Everybody seemed to be smart this morning, too. There was
Speaker 2: at one point there was a person behind me and
Speaker 2: like a person in front of me, and we were all.
Speaker 1: Were tailgating you. No you.
Speaker 2: At first the guys started coming up behind me and
Speaker 2: I'm like, slow down, buddy, right, we do not even
Speaker 2: get behind you, Like, dude, we're all going like twenty
Speaker 2: miles per hour, twenty thirty miles at the most. You did,
Speaker 2: like the car in front of me, like, screw the
Speaker 2: two second rolls, the ten second rule, Like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give you a lot of space. Yeah, give me space.
Speaker 2: So if you're driving, give the other person space.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't be the tailgate dude. Right now, I do
Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories, and I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: operate because I think it's because I didn't see that
Speaker 1: they got injured, So we'll go with that. I had
Speaker 1: to drive across South Dakota once. Okay, I've had to
Speaker 1: drive across it many a time. But when you drive
Speaker 1: across South Dakota, for any of you who've had the pleasure,
Speaker 1: it's basically four hundred miles and then wall drug signs,
Speaker 1: all the wall drug all the wall drug signs you
Speaker 1: could ever want. From the moment you cross in over
Speaker 1: in the Minnesota side to when you hit the wall drug,
Speaker 1: go in westbound and then on the eastbound to you know,
Speaker 1: when you cross in from Wyoming until you hit the
Speaker 1: wall drug and that's it. And then occasionally and then
Speaker 1: it's just a sheet of ice. And it was a
Speaker 1: sheet of ice the whole drive. I was driving to
Speaker 1: Chicago and this this band of idiots. You know how
Speaker 1: you get the speeder groups or they all speed together.
Speaker 1: This was the people speeding on ice group And like
Speaker 1: eight cars went flying around me around like Mitchell, every
Speaker 1: single one within the next few miles was in the ditch.
Speaker 1: Now granted they were right side up, nobody looked like
Speaker 1: they flipped. They were running around. They were out of
Speaker 1: their vehicles staring at it like, oh my gosh, what
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? And I'm just like, there you go.
Speaker 1: So don't be that guy. When this band of merry idiots,
Speaker 1: you'll get there. Okay.
Speaker 2: You know I shoveled my car out last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you told you Ross texting me the whole routine
Speaker 1: you did, like the whole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I put it in stuff on a rock salt.
Speaker 2: But I gotta leave no matter what, I gotta get
Speaker 2: to work, right, So it's like I got up at
Speaker 2: three thirty, like three left at like three thirty of
Speaker 2: the defrost. But last night they going to bed, it
Speaker 2: was like super fluffy and you wake up this morning
Speaker 2: and all that fluffed to it's like solid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people, it was the fuck Like it's the snow
Speaker 1: you want if you're a kid. Last night, right, a
Speaker 1: little probably a little moist, but like you know, the
Speaker 1: big chunks, especially against if you have like a light
Speaker 1: on outside and you see it coming down and all that,
Speaker 1: but also just the worst to drive in so or
Speaker 1: land planes and oh man, are dude, are they going
Speaker 1: to be correct on this one? Are they going to
Speaker 1: be correct on this plane? This plane up in uh,
Speaker 1: you know, because we get into this whole d e
Speaker 1: I thing right, like what we're here and there is
Speaker 1: you basically have a woman pilot who was landing who
Speaker 1: literally just got qualified on this equipment but was having
Speaker 1: you know, it was basically this was part of her training.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like the person who was the senior
Speaker 1: pilot within that cockpit also didn't have enough reps or
Speaker 1: whatever on that type of aircraft and those types of conditions.
Speaker 1: And so if you watched it, Russ. Did you watch
Speaker 1: the video of the plane landing that finally came out.
Speaker 1: That thing hits the runway hard, man, hard. There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of flare there where you do the are
Speaker 1: you gonna have the back tires hit and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have the front tire at at the last moment hit.
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's more aggressive than others. If you've been on
Speaker 1: a plane more than once, you realize this. That thing
Speaker 1: hits so hard. I'm surprised. I'm not surprised the landing,
Speaker 1: you're basically collapsed. But now you have this story coming
Speaker 1: out where you have passengers on this plane. I guess
Speaker 1: they offered them all thirty thousand dollars. It's not supposed
Speaker 1: to be binding in any way. They're just like, hey, sorry,
Speaker 1: we landed you upside down. How about we give you
Speaker 1: thirty k while we figure out what's going on. So
Speaker 1: that whole thing is looking crazy, man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do, But like, if
Speaker 1: you want to create that narrative, it's not looking good
Speaker 1: for the airline, at least from a safety standpoint. And
Speaker 1: then when you find out that this particular subcontractor or partner,
Speaker 1: this Endeavor err or whatever you know put out all
Speaker 1: these videos saying like, oh we do unmanned flights, unmanned flights.
Speaker 1: If I am fully aware of what happened on Fox
Speaker 1: News people, I understand that somebody who calls the show
Speaker 1: ended up on Jesse Waters show. I'm aware of it.
Speaker 1: We talked to him yesterday on the air about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: when I'm tagged in everything, Ross is tagged in everything,
Speaker 1: there's no way that we did not know. Okay, Jamal's
Speaker 1: video that Elon must retweeted Jesse. I guess Jesse Waters
Speaker 1: had it on his show. I didn't see it live,
Speaker 1: but I did see one of the little lips there,
Speaker 1: so and then we got tagged on it and then
Speaker 1: so yes, dam, I'm like, why is the Twitter on fire?
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? And then I then
Speaker 1: I realized what it was. So yes, got it, got it?
Speaker 1: Got it? Got it? Okay, all right, very good? Where
Speaker 1: was I? Oh? Yeah, so, like you know, you make it.
Speaker 1: They have all these videos, they're like, we do unmanned flights. Ross,
Speaker 1: did you see the unmanned flights video that Endeavor has
Speaker 1: been putting out? And they're just like Oh, look, we
Speaker 1: do unmanned flights, specialized in unmanned flights. You're like, what
Speaker 1: does that mean? And you realize it's just oh, look
Speaker 1: how the pilots are all women and the flight, which
Speaker 1: is not necessarily a problem, but it's like the only
Speaker 1: thing they focused on.
Speaker 2: They need to change the name of that because it's
Speaker 2: super confusing, like man flights and like is ai flying
Speaker 2: the plane? Like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: No, no, there's not any filthy masculine Uh yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: up in there, So that's what they're talking about. It's
Speaker 1: all girl power. This this flight powered by girl power,
Speaker 1: which apparently is very green. So no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: So even if you remove all the gender stuff, like
Speaker 1: if what they're explaining with the pilots there sound super like,
Speaker 1: not that not necessarily the situation as a passenger, you
Speaker 1: would want having a land in some pretty sketchy conditions
Speaker 1: which tend to permeate Canadian airports during the middle of winter.
Speaker 1: I told you of the one of the scary I
Speaker 1: don't want say it was scariest, but one of the craziest.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean we're necessarily in danger, but it's
Speaker 1: one of those why would you tell the passengers. I
Speaker 1: remember landing in Rapid City, South Dakota one time in
Speaker 1: the winter. I was having to try to get home,
Speaker 1: flying into Wyoming. It's not easy. Sometimes you don't quite
Speaker 1: make it. You end up in Billings, Montana, or Rapid City,
Speaker 1: South Dakota, or maybe Casper if you're lucky, and you
Speaker 1: still got hours ahead of you to get home. And
Speaker 1: so I'm flying in. I can't remember why I was
Speaker 1: having to go back, but I'm having to go back.
Speaker 1: It's the middle of winter, and and the conditions in
Speaker 1: Rapid City are awful, like far worse really than even
Speaker 1: what is going on on the ground and parts of
Speaker 1: North Carolina today. Difference is that's just what you do.
Speaker 1: And so we're on descent and it's one of those
Speaker 1: descents where we're never gonna see ground before we hit
Speaker 1: it because it's in the middle of a friggin snowstorm.
Speaker 1: And so we're flying through the planes, getting the craft
Speaker 1: kicked out of it because it's in and out of
Speaker 1: these storm clouds. And I'm by now, I'm I've flown
Speaker 1: enough where I'm just like, I'm just like all right whatever.
Speaker 1: Even that we land and I got to drive three
Speaker 1: and a half hours or we crash and I don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. And then we do it
Speaker 1: and it's a pretty hard landing, not gonna lie, but
Speaker 1: we get it, plane gets slowed down. We're there, and
Speaker 1: then on the PA they're like, hey, this is Captain
Speaker 1: so and so, and I just want to let you
Speaker 1: know the first officeer so and so just got out
Speaker 1: of the Air Force or whatever. That was his first
Speaker 1: landing here for the company. And I'm like what, And
Speaker 1: then yeah, no, oh, no, no, no, I screwed the story
Speaker 1: because they told us in the air still that it
Speaker 1: was gonna be their first thing. But don't worry. They
Speaker 1: got down the military and then we did it, and
Speaker 1: then they give us the whole bio, and I'm just like,
Speaker 1: glad it worked out. You know, I'm sure everyone's a
Speaker 1: fine pilot there. But again, you're in the middle of
Speaker 1: this narrative. You're making all these videos that keep going, oh,
Speaker 1: we do unmanned flights, there's no any toxic masculinity in there.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know, I just want to pilot
Speaker 1: that baby. Doesn't hit the runway on the land at
Speaker 1: so much speed it looks like it snaps the landing gear.
Speaker 1: Can we have that? I don't know, man, but we'll
Speaker 1: we'll explore it as we uh slide through all the
Speaker 1: stories today. All right, coming up, we got uh, let's see,
Speaker 1: Oh we got to Oh we got more protests. They're
Speaker 1: doing a protest today and in this weather. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess they saved they they figured out how to save
Speaker 1: the Kennedy Center yesterday, which I don't think they were closing.
Speaker 1: I think Trump just got rid of the guy who
Speaker 1: was like, hey, I get paid five million dollars a
Speaker 1: year to put on drag shows for teens instead of
Speaker 1: you know this, We had this huge, world renowned concert
Speaker 1: venue and I'm using it for all my social justice stuff.
Speaker 1: So they didn't shut it down. Trumps just like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna run this thing because what's going
Speaker 1: on now ain't working. But that brought the protesters out,
Speaker 1: and I guess they figured out a way. So and
Speaker 1: we'll talk planes with CNN because of course we will.
Speaker 1: And I had not had a chance to see the
Speaker 1: new Jen Rubin podcast yet. Ross. We could be in trouble, man,
Speaker 1: we do. I don't know if you know this. This
Speaker 1: the podcast for the show for those of you who
Speaker 1: are too cowardly to get up and join us at
Speaker 1: the proper time. I'm kidding some of you. Our podcast
Speaker 1: kills it. We do really, really really well, and we
Speaker 1: got a lot really high streaming, usually the best in
Speaker 1: the company far and away, and I I'm really nervous
Speaker 1: that some of our digital numbers could suffer with this
Speaker 1: new Gen Ruben podcast. Yeah, you know and other other folks.
Speaker 2: It's very threatening because they do the podcast. You know,
Speaker 2: it's like a video. Yeah, they do, and they do
Speaker 2: the boomer upward camera angle thing.
Speaker 1: Well they're doing. They put the phone on the table
Speaker 1: and then you're looking down at it. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: zoom media.
Speaker 2: Jen Rubin's face through like a fish bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's also but there's so there's a visual.
Speaker 1: But don't don't sleep on the sound. The sound the
Speaker 1: content pleasing to the ears. I think would be the
Speaker 1: way to to say that it doesn't even matter what
Speaker 1: they're talking about. It's just the the core flow of
Speaker 1: the of the harmony of voices of other cast off
Speaker 1: old school reporters who will never see the light, who
Speaker 1: still think that they're doing the right thing. So they
Speaker 1: go out and they start the contrarian and then do
Speaker 1: this pot like those that those types of renowned reporters
Speaker 1: whose grift is up, but they're just they they don't see.
Speaker 1: And then and then you turn it on and you're
Speaker 1: just it's like the song of the Sirens, which caused
Speaker 1: many a ship to smash itself against the rocks because
Speaker 1: you just can't unlisten the.
Speaker 3: News highlights and the low lights.
Speaker 1: And go through some of the highlights will have the
Speaker 1: dead joke of the day. That's guaranteed. I torment my
Speaker 1: family every morning. I bet you do. The stream of
Speaker 1: dead jokes. You don't even need to tell the dad jokes.
Speaker 1: I bet your family feels tormented every day. You're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: Billy Crystal from Never Ending Story as
